and as i would do it, i would stand two rifles along the back of the window. get them on the radio, and i have one of those lone rifleman shoot in to the attacker, at the attacker. one shot only, and we would initiate the assault on that shot, called a sniper initiated emergency assault. the reason that has to happen that way is a can kill 30 people in the room in 30 seconds with the gun he has. he can kill 30 people in 30 seconds. so you can t just say, you know, they should ve won in. they can bang on the door. they can you know, he s gonna kill everyone in there. you just can result in the death of those people. they have to take a few minutes, hesitate, set up an emergency assault, like i described. and the sniper maintenance, may wound him, make kill him. but even on that shot, the action happens.
shooter, there s a shootout, recommit suicide, and that s the end of it. the reason this thing went so long as the killer determined, not the police, that he was gonna barricade. the killer determined that he was gonna barricade. he had life children in there that he could kill at any moment, and while he was in, there he was not at the moment executing them. so, it was an active shooter scenario, that encircled and wrapped around a hostage barricade. the mistake that was made, was, the incident commander, once he reached the reach point, where they had 19 officers inside with rifles, they were at the reach point, the killer was not actively killing children. he did fires some rounds at the officers through the door. they should ve then set up the emergency assault. the chief knows about this of course. this is the way it s handled. an emergency assault has to go win so fast that to beat this
information. he asked to believe that there are wounded in there that are bleeding. this talk takes time for being neutral in the judgment to be against him. time in these things is for you and sometimes against you. sometimes it is neutral. you have to understand this as the commander. moves should have been, once they reach the breached point, which is a wall of a locked classroom, they had to transfer from active shooter drills, which has no breaching capabilities across america, he had to transition to what we call an emergency assault. the key is, i have to get a true, if you get through the door, through the wall, through the window, that the killer cannot execute those inside. he has a gun that killed 30 people in 30 to 40 seconds. as fast as he can pull the trigger he can kill 30 people. you cannot pry open the door, a bang on the, door starts some sloppy entry in here, that will cause him to massacre children.
the truck company guys get through any doors. you may be in a situation where you don t have the case, or take the keys. if i can t stop, you you ve got a breach. you gotta go in there, you gotta move fast. this is called an immediate emergency hustle. now, that doesn t set up in three seconds. it s gonna take a little bit of coordination, a few minutes to stack that up. but the commanders gotta have on his mind as people bleed, that s my time to set the assault. because you gotta be his trigger finger on 30 seconds. so i hear a lot of talk, it is just an active shooter. well, i don t know if you go into a brick wall? i don t know how you go into a door if you have a breach and you don t have a key. so you ve got to get that stuff first, and then, you ve got a launch your emergency assault. so that s the only way it could ve and should ve worked. that extra 30 minute it took, probably why some of those children bled to death. frank, let me bring you in. let me get your view on all of
let s talk for one point, the extreme bravery. these officers went in. they didn t stay outside like colu columbine. they penetrated to the breach point. they went in all the way. the guy is shooting at them. a couple were wounded and they got to the breach point. so they had bravery in the face of the rifle. it s really extraordinary bravery but once they get to the breach point, the incident commander just has to make the decision. time we consider in these to be neutral and then it falls against you and falls with you. you have to read that time. an on scene commander would read this as getting a hostage barricade that s basically already bloody. in other words, hostages have already been shot. you know they re going to bleed out. they don t have time. this is a standard swat commander mind set. you know that s going to happen. you know you have to breach. you set up an emergency assault. that s going to take you ten or 15 minutes. you got to get your stack right. i would have send
